“Quick, let me see what’s inside.”
Ye Fan quickly ran over and opened the small box. Very quickly, dozens of medicinal pills appeared before his eyes.
“Moistening Water Pill, Healing Pill, Barrier-Breaking Pill, there’s actually a Spirit Enhancing Pill. This is a high-quality medicinal pill. One pill is equivalent to 10 Moistening Water Pills...”
“Barrier-Breaking Pill isn’t bad either. It can help me break through obstacles. I’ve been stuck in the Mid-Level Black Iron Rank for so long. I can finally break through.”
Ye Fan was ecstatic. He held the black box and wanted to laugh out loud. However, he suddenly revealed a puzzled expression.
The main thing was that the security in the secret room back then was very tight. Logically speaking, there should be something more valuable. However, there was not any. There were only some pills.
With a puzzled expression, Ye Fan turned the small box upside down. In the end, there were only some pills. There was nothing else.
“Nothing? What a pity. Such a small thing is so heavily guarded. Could it be that the Evil Energy Organization of me stealing their things?”
Ye Fan was a little speechless. He felt that the Evil Energy Organization was making a fuss over nothing. However, he was too lazy to think about it. Instead, he quickly picked up the pills and ate them.
In the sky, Li Xuan watched this scene quietly. He originally wanted to go down and snatch it, but seeing that there was only such a small thing, he was too lazy to make a move.
For example, the most valuable Spirit Enhancing Pill in the box. There was a refining method in the ancient book. As long as he learned it, he could easily refine it.
The main point was that the kindness of this little wild boar made Li Xuan somewhat unable to make a move.
After all, the little wild boar had just given him the ancient books. If he continued to snatch the pills, it would be ruthless.
‘I’ll observe this little wild boar more later. I feel that it treats Qin Yue very well. Perhaps the Transcendence Fruit from last time is also related to the little wild boar.’
Li Xuan secretly guessed. He was prepared to observe the little wild boar more in the future to see what was going on.
With this thought in mind, Li Xuan left and headed straight for Qin Yue’s residence.
Not long after, Li Xuan successfully returned and came to the sofa beside Qin Yue.
“Brother Li Xuan, you’re back.”
When Qin Yue saw that Li Xuan had returned, she instantly heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her small hand and began to mold the cat’s head.
“Yueyue, why is Blackstone City so chaotic? Why are those commoners running out of the city?” Li Xuan asked the question in his heart.
“It’s like this. The Divine Imperial Palace sent people to the city to collect taxes. Each person has to pay 300,000 yuan. Many people can not afford it even if they sell everything they have,
“For commoners who can’t afford it, they will be captured and thrown into the Divine Imperial Palace. Therefore, Black Rock City is in chaos. Everyone is looking for relatives to defect to avoid taxes,” Qin Yue explained.
“Yueyue is right. It is said that hundreds of thousands of people enter the Divine Imperial Palace every year, but not a single one comes out. The entire Divine Imperial Palace is filled with endless bloody mist.”
Song Xiaomei also spoke. She moved to the other side of Li Xuan and began to explain. Her small hands could not help but come to stroke the cat.
“Not a single one comes out?” Li Xuan frowned.
“Yes, it is said that the Divine Imperial Palace is an underground city. There are 99 floors below, and each floor can accommodate a lot of people.”
“Right, recently, the Divine Imperial Palace has been preparing to build the second Divine Imperial Palace in the desert, so it has ordered the cities of various countries to pay taxes. It has also sent people from the Divine Imperial Palace to supervise.”
Song Xiaomei continued to explain, telling him everything she knew.
“Strange, why is the second Divine Imperial Palace built in the desert? The environment in the desert is quite harsh.”
Li Xuan was puzzled. He could not figure out what the reason was, but he thought of something and asked again.
“There are Mutated Beasts outside the city. Why are the people leaving the city? Even if they are avoiding taxes, they can’t go outside the city to die.”
“Brother Li Xuan, I heard that the Resistance Army has established a base outside and is recruiting refugees. There are no taxes there. Many people who can’t survive choose to seek refuge outside the city.”
Song Xiaomei explained. She felt that it was a lot to pay 300,000 tax per person. After all, many people could not accumulate 300,000 tax in their lifetime.
“The base of the Resistance Army?”
Li Xuan used his God’s Perspective again and scanned his surroundings. Very quickly, he saw a damaged new building three kilometers away from the city gate.
However, that place was already in ruins. Dozens of heads were propped on the ground with sticks.
On the remaining building, there was a sentence written in blood, ‘this was the end of being a resistance’!
“Has it been destroyed by the Divine Imperial Palace?”
Li Xuan continued to look at the city gate with a serious expression, carefully observing the men in black up close.
However, at this time, a?white-haired old man walked out from the men in black. He raised his head and looked at the sky. He frowned and looked around, as if he was looking for something.
At this time, the white-haired man in black took out a small golden ball and crushed it.
Boom!
A thunderous sound rang out. Li Xuan felt his brain shake and blood immediately oozed out of his mouth and nose.
“Brother Li Xuan, what’s wrong?”
Qin Yue and song Xiaomei saw blood oozing out of Li Xuan’s mouth and nose. They hurriedly took out the medicine box. Their beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
“It’s alright! It’s already healed.”
Li Xuan’s Self-Healing Skill was immediately activated and his injuries were healed in an instant. Then, Li Xuan continued to look at the white-haired man in black.
The white-haired man in black was still looking around, but no one knew who he was observing.
At this moment, he took out another golden ball, and there were a total of ten of them.
Shua!
Li Xuan’s God’s Perspective was quickly withdrawn, and his mood became very heavy.
This was the first time he had suffered such a loss. Even when he was cursing, he was not in such a heavy mood. However, he felt pressure for the first time.
“The Divine Imperial Palace is truly an amazing organization. Just a single tax collector is already so terrifying. Just how powerful is the number one expert of mankind, the Divine Emperor?”
Li Xuan muttered to himself. He felt that this matter was extremely troublesome. Even the Peak God’s Perspective was blocked. This showed just how amazing the other party was.
“Wait, this is the first time I used God’s Perspective to observe. They didn’t realize that at that time, my perspective was higher and I wasn’t that close to them...”
“In other words, as long as my God’s Perspective isn’t that close to them, I won’t be discovered?”
With this thought in mind, Li Xuan activated his God’s Perspective once again. He looked down from the sky and looked down at the black-clothed men in the Divine Imperial Palace.
As expected, no one attacked this time. The white-haired black-clothed man who had attacked previously sat in the middle of the crowd and sat quietly.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuan continued to adjust his angle of view and began to test it bit by bit.
When God’s Perspective was ten meters away from them, the man in the center of the black-clothed man suddenly stood up.
“Ten meters?”
Li Xuan raised his angle of view a little. Seeing the black-clothed man sit back after a round of observation, Li Xuan was relieved and continued to observe the other party.
On the other side, at the entrance of Black Rock City...
The white-haired black-clothed man narrowed his eyes and sized up the surroundings. His turbid old eyes continued to scan the surroundings, and his long white hair swayed slightly in the wind.
“I really didn’t expect that Black Rock City would actually have such an expert in observation hidden. Even I don’t know where the other party is hiding.”
The white-haired black-clothed man’s expression was grave as he continued to scan the surroundings. Unfortunately, he didn’t find anything.
He silently took out a rune-like item from his pocket and poured Spiritual Power into it. Soon, a voice came from within the rune.
“Number 10, what business do you have with me?”
“Ninth Brother, you came to Black RockCity. I encountered a problem,” the white-haired black-clothed man said.
“Problem? You’re a city lord. Even you encountered a problem?”
“Yes, I met a perceptor in Black Rock City. The perceptor of the other party is on the same level as me,” The white-haired black-clothed man said solemnly.
“The same level? The Peak Level? There’s actually someone on the same level as you in terms of perception?” A surprised voice came from the side of the symbol.
“Yes, it’s very inconceivable. That perceptor has observed me many times, but I was unable to discover him no matter how much I tried...”
“Although the other party’s observation ability is of the same level as mine, his ability is even more outstanding,” the white-haired black-clothed man said solemnly.
“He is indeed formidable, but I’m a Battle Spirit Martial Artist. It’s useless for you to ask me for help. Even you can’t find him, so how could I possibly find him?”
Ninth Brother’s puzzled voice came from the rune, as if he could not figure out why No. 10 wanted him to go over.
“Just come. I have a way to find him,” the white-haired black-clothed man, No. 10, said seriously.
“Oh? What way?”
